SELF Gossip Roundup

Our weekly recap of the SELFiest gossip out there! Britney releases her new video, Paris hits 30, Lady Gaga has an important message and Gwen rocks it at Fashion Week!

Ever since Britney Spears dropped her new single, we have been on the edge of our seats waiting for the sure-to-be sexy music video. Now, the wait is over! “Hold it Against Me” premiered last night on MTV, and doesn’t disappoint fans waiting for a full-on Britney comeback. She dances around a futuristic set decked out in sequins and red leather shorts, plus battles herself in a cool scene at the end. We are happy to see sexy Britney back and can’t wait to hear more from her upcoming album, Femme Fatale!

First, she arrived in an egg at the Grammys, and now this? Never one to disappoint in the wardrobe department, Lady Gaga visitedGood Morning America Thursday morning dressed in all rubber–and she was wearing it as an important message. “Today was a latex condom inspired outfit because we had to talk about safe sex. I really wanted to head to toe to be representative of what we women and people all over the world need to be concerned about which is the leading cause of death in women all around the world which is HIV,” she says. We certainly think everyone got the message this time, Gaga–talk about wearing your emotions on your sleeve!

Paris Hilton turns the big 3-0 today! She hasn’t had the cleanest record leading up to this landmark (a major fall-out with her bff, spending a few minutes in jail, and a cocaine run-in) but she sums these up as “life lessons.” And she is looking forward to her thirties, since she hears they’re the best years of your life. So far, things are looking great. Her boyfriend, Cy Waits, bought her a shiny new Lexus sports car for her big day, and she is back in the reality show world. Her new series will follow, well what else? Her life! Premiering soon on the Oxygen Network.

When we think of Anna Nicole Smith, the word opera doesn’t come to mind. But apparently this is not what the Royal Opera House in England thinks. In fact, Anna Nicole premiered to a sold-out house on Thursday and even got good reviews! The opera plays out Anna Nicole’s crazy life that ended tragically in 2007. The show features humor, tragedy, and of course amazing costumes. We aren’t huge opera fans, but we have to admit, we’re intrigued. Nothing seems to follow Anna Nicole Smith without being very entertaining and refreshingly hilarious.

The 2011 Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition is out! We know, you’re probably not all running out to buy the latest issue, but we bet soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo is. The beautiful cover star, Irina Shayk, is his girlfriend. The Russian model claims she didn’t even know she was featured on the cover until it was revealed on a billboard while she was on the David Letterman Show. Talk about a big surprise! Seeing yourself in a swimsuit blown up for the world to see? Maybe we should follow Irina’s advice on how she got her gorgeous body ready for the shoot. She says she never even changed her eating habits, and that SI likes the models just the way they are. We probably won’t ever be on a cover of any magazine in a swimsuit, but we are always up for following advice to be yourself.

We have always been a fan of Gwen Stefani’s one-of-a-kind personal fashion, which is why we are always pleased with her equally unique L.A.M.B. clothing line. She debuted her latest collection this week at NYC’s Fashion Week, and her crazy-cool line featured the usual bold patterns and edgy designs. We love Gwen’s clothing line, and the fact that she closed her show with a walk down the runway with her adorable (and just as fashionable) son Kingston made us even happier!
